What is ISO 24917 about?
ISO 24917 specifies general test requirements for launch vehicles equipped with liquid-propellant engines, launched from the stationary ground-, sea- and air-based launchers, in all phases of their development.
ISO 24917 provides space launch vehicle customers, contractors, and manufacturers with general requirements for test types and programmes for space launch vehicles and rocket units (modules) for use in the documentation associated with their test activity.
Who is ISO 24917 for?
ISO 24917 on test requirements for launch vehicles for space system is applicable to:
- Spacecraft manufacturers
- Aerospace and defense industries
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of spacecraft and aerospace products
- Design engineers for launch vehicles
- Quality control personnel involved in inspecting the launch vehicles
Why should you use ISO 24917?
As a spacecraft manufacturer and design engineer, ISO 24917 helps you in providing tasks, principles of development tests, and general requirements for space launch vehicles and rocket units (modules).
The guidelines given in ISO 24917 helps you in reducing the development time and cost of space launch vehicles and rocket units, and to enhance their quality and reliability through the use of common, optimized, and approved requirements in the space launch vehicle test scope and organization.
As a manufacturer, ISO 24917 you can demonstrate the reliability of their spacecraft and space products and build trust in its use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
